PyData NYC 2022 is a 3-day event for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R.
Keynote Speakers
Thomas Caswell
Thomas CaswellLead developer of Matplotlib, Core developer of h5py, and Staff Scientist at Brookhaven National Lab
Tom Caswell, a trained physicist and staff scientist at NSLS-II at Brookhaven National Lab (BNL), works to bring modern programming and computational tools to the daily life of research scientists. At BNL, Caswell is a founder and core architect of the Bluesky Project which aims to simplify the scaling of particle physics research projects. Caswell is also a regular contributor to many core projects in the Scientific Python ecosystem, and was named a PSF Fellow in Q2 2022 in recognition of his contribution and leadership across the broader Python community.
Chelle Gentemann, Ph.D.
Chelle Gentemann, Ph.D.Program Scientist Transform to Open Science at NASA
Chelle Gentemann studies the sea from space. The core of her research has been data production and analysis to understand and monitor changes in our weather and climate. Her approach has been to use cutting-edge technologies to bring sweeping changes to data and science, specifically targeting expansions data access and participation in science. At NASA headquarters she leads the Transform to Open Science (TOPS) mission. TOPS will create a scientific culture that is ready for 21st century challenges.
Paul Romer
Paul RomerUniversity Professor at NYU, Co-Recipient of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences
Paul Romer, a University Professor at NYU, was co-recipient of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Economics Sciences. His work lies in the intersection of economics, innovation, technology, and urbanization. The central conclusion is that there are many feasible ways to speed human progress. Before coming to NYU, Paul taught at Stanford, and while there, started Aplia, an education technology company he later sold to Thomson Learning.
